Pros

You will meet a diverse and very talented team while working in a great technology stack. The team leads are also very helpful and will assist you in every possible way

Cons

However, when head winds are in front of senior management they will have no trouble firing a whole department or using layoffs. This while passing the idea of being a company that deeply cares about its employees.

Dear former colleague, Thank you for your feedback and for openly sharing your thoughts. It’s nice to hear you find the technologies we are building and using interesting, that you enjoyed working with your Team Lead, and appreciate the talent and diversity of the Jimdo team. We truly understand your feelings about the recent layoffs. It was a very hard decision to make, but at the same time, Jimdo had to address business needs to remain sustainable in the longer term. We’re grateful for the contributions of all ex-Jimdoers. We worked hard to develop and provide a generous support package that would take care of our former colleagues and set them up for their next career move. The package includes an above-market severance allowance, assistance with finding new job opportunities, access to mental health support, an option to keep Jimdo hardware, and lifetime free access to Jimdo suite of products. We want to thank you for choosing Jimdo to be a part of your career journey and for bringing your skills, knowledge, and energy to help our users.

Pros

Jimdo is a place filled with talented, dedicated people who are myopically focused on achieving their mission of helping their customers be successful. If you're a person looking to learn new skills, take on additional responsibility, be challenged by complex projects and develop your career, this is THE place for you to be. Additionally, Jimdo is incredibly flexible and treats their employees like humans, values diversity, asks for employee's opinions, is super transparent and invests in their employee's development.

Cons

Jimdo is in a period of transition and change (almost all for the better). However, you have to know that, and want that. As examples, policies evolve, new people are hired, new products are always launched, tests occur constantly, etc. If you are looking for a place that will allow you to skate by without hard work, this is NOT the place for you.
